  • Is God Dead? It Is a Question That Tantalizes Both Believers, Who Perhaps Secretly Fear That He Is, and Atheists, Who Possibly Suspect That the Answer Is No
    Friday, Apr. 08, 1966 THEOLOGY Toward a Hidden God Is God dead? It is a question that tantalizes both believers, who perhaps secretly fear that he is, and atheists, who possibly suspect that the answer is no. Is God dead? The three words represent a summons to reflect on the meaning of existence. No longer is the question the taunting jest of skeptics for whom unbelief is the test of wisdom and for whom Nietzsche is the prophet who gave the right answer a century ago. Even within Christianity, now confidently renewing itself in spirit as well as form, a small band of radical theologians has seriously argued that the churches must accept the fact of God's death, and get along without him. How does the issue differ from the age-old assertion that God does not and never did exist? Nietzsche's thesis was that striving, self-centered man had killed God, and that settled that. The current death-of-God group* believes that God is indeed absolutely dead, but proposes to carry on and write a theology without theos, without God. Less radical Christian thinkers hold that at the very least God in the image of man, God sitting in heaven, is dead, and—in the central task of religion today—they seek to imagine and define a God who can touch men's emotions and engage men's minds. If nothing else, the Christian atheists are waking the churches to the brutal reality that the basic premise of faith—the existence of a personal God, who created the world and sustains it with his love—is now subject to profound attack.

  • Evil and the Augustinian Tradition Charles T
    Cambridge University Press 0521807158 - Evil and the Augustinian Tradition Charles T. Mathewes Frontmatter More information EVIL AND THE AUGUSTINIAN TRADITION Recent scholarship has focused attention on the difficulties that evil, suffering,and tragic conflict present to religious belief and moral life. Thinkers have drawn upon many important historical figures, with one significant exception – Augustine. At the same time,there has been a renaissance of work on Augustine,but little discussion of either his work on evil or his influence on contemporary thought. This book fills these gaps. It explores the “family biography” of the Augustinian tradition by looking at Augustine’s work and its development in the writings of Hannah Arendt and Reinhold Niebuhr. Mathewes argues that the Augustinian tradition offers us a powerful,though commonly misconstrued,proposal for under- standing and responding to evil’s challenges. The book casts new light on Augustine,Niebuhr,and Arendt,as well as on the problem of evil,the nature of tradition,and the role of theological and ethical discourse in contemporary thought. . is Assistant Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Virginia,where he teaches theology, ethics,and religion and culture.

Abstract Langdon Brown Gilkey taught at the Divinity School of the University of Chicago from 1963 until his retirement in 1989. He was a prominent protestant theologian, an expert on the relation between science and religion, and a key respondent to the rise of intelligent design as a way of teaching creationism. During 1940-1945 he taught at Yenching University (now part of Peking University) in Beijing, China, then occupied by the Japanese, and from 1943 to 1945 he was interned along with other Allied civilians at the Weihsien Internment Camp (or Weihsien Civilian Assembly Center). The collection contains official and personal correspondence, notes, manuscripts and typescripts, newspaper clippings, postcards, periodicals and other publications, photographs, and administrative documents dating between 1934 and 2004. The bulk of the material dates between 1940-1945 and 1954-2004. The papers primarily document Langdon Gilkey’s life in China during the Second World War and his professional career as theologian, academician, and professor at the Divinity School of the University of Chicago and other institutions.

ISBN 952-10-0199-2 (PDF) 3 ABSTRACT Lasse Halme The Polarity of Dynamics and Form The Basic Tension in Paul Tillich’s Thinking This study examines the idea of the polarity of dynamics and form in Tillich’s thinking. The tension of the polarity of dynamics and form is the starting- point of Tillich’s thinking, and the polarity has its ground in God. The analysis shows that Tillich’s thinking can be interpreted with the three functions of life: self-integration, self-creation, and self-transcendence. Explicitly, the polarity of dynamics and form is the basis for the self-creation of life but it can be found also in the other functions of life. Tillich’s ontology and description of the New Being are based on the idea of self-integration: the ideal is the unity and balance of dynamics and form, and both of the elements are equally important. Form remains unbroken and form is the essence of a thing. There are forms of the self-transcendence of form: even if the form is transcended, this happens within the form. This is the way that Tillich unites the classical and the modern view of dynamics and form. If we are ready to accept Tillich’s system as coherent, we will have to accept this kind of dialectical thinking.

  • Shantung Compound the Story of Men and Women Under Pressure by Langdon Gilkey (Harper and Row, 1966) Reviewer: Erik Johnson (12/29/2012)
    Shantung Compound The Story of Men and Women Under Pressure by Langdon Gilkey (Harper and Row, 1966) Reviewer: Erik Johnson (12/29/2012) In 1943 imperialist Japan, already occupying China, rounded up nearly 2000 non-Chinese civilians living in Peking and imprisoned them 200 miles away in a decrepit Presbyterian mission/hospital compound located in a city called Weihsien. These prisoners included mostly British and American teachers, missionaries, bachelors, families, children, elderly, businessmen, diplomats, bankers, lawyers, monks, and medical workers. Langdon Gilkey (1919 - 2004), a 24 year old American teacher with a philosophy degree from Harvard, was among the prisoners. He kept lengthy notes of his 2 ½ years internment and eventually became a theologian (not scientist as I misreported to our group; he merely wrote on scientific subjects). There were no tortures, no assassinations, and no tales of starvation or brutality in this camp. But the confinement was difficult on many levels and Gilkey used his creative mind and excellent writing skills to turn this experience into a laboratory for testing the character of human nature. An adult version of Lord of the Flies, these civilians had to carve out a civilization to manage space (living quarters were cramped and overcrowded), medical needs (the hospital was in disrepair), sanitation (toilets overflowed), food (cooking and baking for 2000!), and security (stealing was rampant). Internees didn’t know what to expect from their Japanese captors. The specter of disease and starvation was real. There was no running water, too few latrines, and no centralized heating. Electricity was erratic. There were 45 minute waits for meals.
